Karijini Eco Retreat sourced 75% of its power from renewable energy in the 12 months to September 2026.

Magellan Power designed and delivered the retreat’s integrated off-grid energy system in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, using on-site solar generation, battery storage and intelligent controls, with diesel generators retained for backup.

Over those 12 months, the system delivered:

- 73,440 litres of diesel consumption avoided
- 195 tonnes of CO₂e emissions avoided
- $179,928 in fuel and operating cost savings

The installation combines a 175 kW ground-mounted solar array, 680 kWh of lithium battery storage and a modular 180 kW inverter system.

Our teams in Newman and Port Hedland provide ongoing monitoring and regional field support, helping maintain reliable power in a demanding remote environment.

For Karijini Eco Retreat, this means less reliance on diesel, reduced exposure to fuel price volatility and lower operating emissions.

Age doesn’t have to mean replacement.

At one of Australia’s largest power stations, three high-capacity DC battery chargers had been operating continuously for over 20 years.

The chargers remained vital to the facility’s backup and control power systems, but their original electrolytic capacitors had exceeded their expected service life. These ageing components posed a risk to charger stability, battery health and reliable operation.

Magellan Power’s service team carried out an onsite refurbishment during a planned maintenance window, minimising disruption to plant operations.

The work included:

- Replacing high-voltage and high-ripple capacitors using preassembled banks and customised busbars.

- Verifying filter and smoothing capacitor performance.

- Cleaning and inspecting PCBs and power modules.

- Completing functional testing after replacement.

The result: stable charger performance restored and an estimated 10–15 years added to their service life, avoiding the cost and disruption of full system replacements.

With the right assessment and targeted maintenance, ageing equipment can continue delivering reliable service for years to come.

Idle doesn’t mean ready.

Backup power systems may sit unused for long periods, but they still need to perform when called on. Load bank testing applies a controlled load to check capacity and performance before an emergency puts the system to the test.

Magellan Power provides on-site load bank testing for UPS, generators and battery systems. Testing can uncover potential issues early and provide records to support maintenance and compliance requirements.

Magellan Power began in 1991 inside the Myaree home Masoud Abshar shared with his wife, Lynne, and their two young daughters.

Masoud had a clear ambition: to manufacture power electronic systems locally in Australia and provide the level of service that customers operating in remote and demanding environments deserved.

As a young migrant and qualified power electronics engineer with limited resources, building that vision while supporting a growing family was not easy. But in December 1991, Masoud sat down at the family computer and designed Magellan’s first battery charger.

The backyard workshop came later. By 1993, Magellan Powertronics was operating from a newly built workshop behind the family home, earning Masoud the nickname “The Backyarder” from competitors.

They weren’t wrong, but he had a much bigger plan.

35 years later, Magellan Power remains proudly Australian-owned and family-run. What began as one family’s vision has grown into a team of over 100 people, including several parents, children, siblings and relatives working alongside one another throughout the business.

This National Family Business Day, we’re celebrating our beginnings, the families across our team and everyone who has helped build Magellan Power into what it is today.

What does energy independence mean to a remote operation that relies on diesel generation to keep running?

It means power systems performing at their peak for longer; extending asset life and reducing replacement costs. It means longer maintenance cycles, lower labour and fuel costs, and reduced OpEx. And it means your site can keep running through the unforeseen circumstances that would previously have compromised output, giving you genuine operational confidence.

Pilbara FORGE is built to deliver that independence.

Designed and manufactured in Australia for remote and rural network environments, Pilbara FORGE combines battery storage from 200kWh to 5,000kWh with inverter capacity from 100kW to 2,000kW - all intelligently managed by Magellan Power's Microgrid Energy Management System.

It absorbs excess solar generation during the day, stores it and dispatches it on demand; reducing generator run hours, cutting fuel consumption, and stabilising the power quality your equipment and operations depend on.

Engineered for Australia's harshest conditions, its ruggedised, liquid-cooled design maintains peak performance from –10°C to 55°C, with a >6,000-cycle life and >95% round-trip efficiency.

Powering critical systems across two major Australian energy storage projects.

When UGL required a standardised and highly reliable backup power architecture for Neoen's 164MW / 905MWh Muchea Battery in Western Australia and 305MW / 1,220MWh Western Downs Stage 3 Battery in Queensland, it engaged Magellan Power to deliver.

We designed and supplied dual-redundant 125VDC backup power systems for both projects, providing dependable power for critical control, protection and auxiliary loads.

Both systems were delivered on schedule and Factory Acceptance Tested at Magellan Power's facility before dispatch, with our team providing on-site commissioning support in Western Australia and Queensland.

The dual-redundant architecture maintains protection of critical loads if a single charger or battery string fails, building resilience into the infrastructure supporting each installation.

Designed and manufactured in Australia to support two of the country's major energy storage projects.
